Putin knows who is pulling strings. And the German question has not yet been resolved. He indicated he would want to ...... as an occupied Germany is a problem .... both militarily and financial.
And those Leopard I tanks .... well .... it's just future Kinzhal target pratice.
From my reading in Intel_Slava, the Russians relish the destruction of Leopard, Challenger, and Abrams tanks (and related troop carriers). But Kinzhals are only good against fixed target coordinates, so they are using other weapons against the tanks. A really unique and historic aspect of this war is the prevalence and effectiveness of armed drones.
Russia is, again, gaining the upper hand. Wheel of Justice are TERRIBLY slow. But, it’s playing into the hands of Russia, as it should. When his “enemies” learn that Russia was never the enemy, what will be compensated? Maybe just agreeing on a solution in a few months would suffice? Germany found out. And if I was Putin I would msg then and say. Do you understand now? Do you know who your enemy is? It was never Russia. Let’s work together. ❤️❤️
WHY? Your tried of hearing about Zelensky buying 10 million dollars house for his parents, 3/million dollar car for his wife, purchasing a 70,000,000 vineyard from STING?
German ministers told there’s no more money for Ukraine – media
Berlin could halve its military assistance to Kiev in 2025, the newspaper claims
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has issued a request to the country's defense ministry calling for a limit to military assistance to Ukraine, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported on Saturday. According to Lindner, the country’s current budget plan is not capable of allocating funds to Kiev.
The request was made in a letter addressed to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, and specified that only military aid that has already been approved can be delivered to Kiev. Additional applications from the defense ministry will no longer be accepted, even if issued at the behest of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
FAZ noted that the block on newly approvals is already in effect and that Berlin would halve its military aid to Ukraine next year. In 2027, the assistance is expected to decline to less than one tenth of its current volume.
Up to €8 billion in aid to Ukraine has been scheduled for 2024, and the planned maximum of €4 billion for 2025 already exceeds available funds, the media outlet noted, adding that only €3 billion is planned for 2026, and €500 million each for 2027 and 2028.
“End of the event. The pot is empty,” an unnamed source in the federal government told FAZ, stressing that Berlin has “reached a point where Germany can no longer make any promises to Ukraine.”
The newspaper noted that the urge comes amid Lindner’s push for harsh austerity measures; these have already been imposed on all German ministries except defense. The finance minister has been resisting intense pressure from Scholz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck to suspend the country’s constitutional limit on debt to allow for the cost of providing military aid to Kiev amid the Ukrainian conflict.

Germany is the second biggest backer of Ukraine after the US. Berlin has provided and committed military aid of at least €28 billion ($30.3 billion) to Kiev in current and future pledges. This includes advanced military equipment such as Leopard 2 tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and US-made Patriot air-defense systems.
Lindner reportedly doesn’t expect the country’s assistance to Ukraine to drop, as the minister hopes to cover the expenses not with federal budget funds, but through the use of Russian central bank assets that were frozen by Kiev’s Western allies shortly after the conflict escalated.
Nearly $300 billion belonging to Russia’s central bank has been immobilized by the EU and G7 nations as part of Ukraine-related sanctions. In May, Brussels approved a plan to use the interest earned on the frozen assets to support Ukraine’s recovery and defense. Under the agreement, 90% of the proceeds are expected to go into an EU-run fund for Ukrainian military aid, with the other 10% allocated to supporting Kiev in other ways.
Isn't Germany in dire need, of energy from Russia, yet they we're stupid enough to fundi Ukraine against Russia. Who remembers Trump warning Germany, that relying on Russia for their energy needs would blow up in their face, did they listen? Of course not. Put another check mark on the wall for Trump.
Once again, mis understood and un vetted information plowing through this post. German is and has stated it will continue to be Ukraines number one supporter.
Finance Minister Christian Lindner said that future funding would no longer come from Germany's federal budget but from proceeds from frozen Russian assets.
All previously promised and committed aid from Germany's budget will continue. All new aid will be paid for from the frozen Russian assets.
Germany is in the middle of a 'Cold War' scenario with Russia right now. They will continue to finance this proxy war anyway possible. Now that they have cleared the way to use Russian funds, why spend their own?
I guess this is because they now hold Ukraine responsible for destroying Nordstream 2 pipeline.
Took them long enough!
Also because, Winter is Coming.
And they're probably out of money and nobody will loan to them anymore.
And the Zelenskis spent all the money on expensive houses and cars.
I suspect they knew this all since it happened.
As should we (US)
What? And risk offending sexy zelensky?/s
Yes
Zelensky is a puppet, the US is its master.
Bidens the puppet
So it begins.
Russia isn't going to forget German tanks or military equipment rolling across Russian territory.
The U.S. Deep State goal was to destroy Germany's economy and drive a wedge between Germany and Russia. Mission accomplished.
I dunno. ....

Just a few days age they were cheering the fact the Ucraine was using German tanks to invade Russia.."now trying to get ahead of fuck around find out"
They should force Z to sell a mansion and a mega yacht to pay for the pipeline.

…throw in them little hearts, lol.
And Zelensky STILL hasn't changed his shirt.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure the "Biden" administration will make up the difference and then some.

They just announced they are sending leopard's and a huge amount of apc's and missile systems though.
Hip hip hooray!!
